To Pyrford Marina for a few Days


Monday 31st October, 2011
Started off at 7:30 heading north. Stopped for a brief breakfast at Bower’s Lock as another narrowboat was coming up the lock. Arrived at Pyrford Marina, where we had lunch and took on water and replaced our empty gas bottle with a full one (Kingsground had given us one full and one empty bottle). Went into the Chandlery and bought three mooring stakes with hooks and a third ‘armco’ hook (£60.70 including the gas). Also paid for three nights mooring (£60). Moved MM to her mooring, backing her into the slot. She does go backwards well!
Chris came down in her car and picked us up to take us home.
9 miles and 8 locks – 4.3 hours
Total 153 miles and 84 locks – 80.4 hours
